I just heard that my great sailing friend and former CEO of Hobiecat Europe has passed. May The endless oceans…
...Report was sent by an F18 Sailor, if you want Hobies reported send your own, we'll publish as usual. Cheers.
Looks like in your report the Hobies are not really present. Suggest to rewrite the article.
Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16

George Johns should do a video of the AC45 fleet speeding to a windwark mark, then all getting hopelessly stuck in irons, total confusion triggering recriminations on every boat, overheard with the 'enhanced online broadcasting'. Would be a riot?

Getting stuck in irons??? You make no sense Blackburn, why would a bunch of pros sailing some of the sexiest boats on the water get stuck in irons?
LOL. To pay homage to all the critics who long insist this would be the end of match racing, is why!
And the irreverent video material from Johns is what I like best.
From ACRM's write-up about this first fleet exercise it was clear some of Martin's dinosaurs were there, occupying the trampolines!
They could take a crash course with Mischa…
